Chapter 6 The Suspicious Agent

After the incredibly awkward meal with Su Chenhui, Shen Lingfeng headed back to the hotel.

He had found a hotel very close to the set for his temporary stay, only about a ten-minute walk away.

“Mr. Shen, please wait a moment!” A male beta wearing a suit and black-rimmed glasses jogged up to him. “Hello, may I ask if you currently have an agent?”

“Yes, I don’t.” Since Shen Lingfeng was essentially an un-debuted newcomer in the entertainment industry, he hadn’t gotten around to finding an agent yet.

“You’re playing the lead in a movie with such a fantastic production lineup. I believe you’ll definitely become a huge hit once the film is released, so I’m here to seize the early opportunity, hehe… Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sun Sui, and this is my information.” The beta handed over a few sheets of paper. “Please take a look. I wonder if you’d be interested in having me as your agent?”

Shen Lingfeng took the documents and quickly flipped through them. It seemed this person had no prior experience as an agent or working for an agency; he was also a newcomer to the industry.

It wasn’t impossible for two newcomers to help each other and achieve a win-win cooperation, but this person, who had suddenly jumped out at him on the road, seemed a bit suspicious.

“From what I understand, an agent usually helps artists secure jobs and arrange schedules? This movie is my debut, and the filming schedule is quite tight. I plan not to take on any other work during this period. So perhaps I don’t need an agent right now.”

“That’s alright! I can help you arrange things like food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Mr. Shen, are you currently staying in a hotel?” Sun Sui glanced in the direction of the hotel Shen Lingfeng was about to reach. “This movie will take several months to film. I think finding a short-term rental would be more cost-effective.”

“…” Shen Lingfeng knew the logic behind Sun Sui’s words, but he had been busy memorizing lines and couldn’t spare much time for things like viewing apartments.

“I know you just started in the industry and don’t have an income yet, and I don’t need a high salary,” Sun Sui pressed his advantage when he saw Shen Lingfeng waver. “You can just pay me two or three thousand a month.”

“Why are you so eager to be my agent?” Shen Lingfeng scrutinized Sun Sui with a cautious gaze.

“Hehe, just consider it buying a potential stock… I believe that once you become successful, you’ll definitely be too embarrassed to keep paying me so little, and you’ll proactively raise my salary, right?”

“Alright.” Shen Lingfeng reluctantly accepted the reason the other party gave. “Then you can try it out for a month first.”

“Great!” Sun Sui readily agreed, then followed Shen Lingfeng toward the hotel. “I’m 26 this year, about two or three years older than you. Can I call you Xiao Shen from now on?”

“Of course, Brother Sun.” Shen Lingfeng was always easygoing in this regard. He used to call the driver hired by his family “Brother” too; he didn’t put on any airs of a young master.

“Xiao Shen, if I’m going to be your agent, I’ve done my homework… Allow me to remind you, there’s someone in your crew named Gu Yuxin, and he’s not someone to be trifled with. You need to be careful and guard against him.”

“…I actually sensed it too. He seems hostile toward me.” Shen Lingfeng paused, looking at Sun Sui and asking in confusion, “But I didn’t know him at all before. How did I offend him?”

“This Gu Yuxin is a minor celebrity. He has previously played a couple with Su Chenhui, and the two of them even have quite a few CP fans, and even a Weibo Super Topic…”

Hearing this, a trace of sourness inexplicably flashed through Shen Lingfeng’s heart.

Sun Sui continued, “He originally wanted to work with Su Chenhui again in this movie, making it their second collaboration. But the role of Bai Shuixian was ultimately given to you, and he only got a supporting role in the film. Tell me, how could he not be jealous and resentful of you?”

“So that’s how it is.” Shen Lingfeng finally understood.

But why was Gu Yuxin so obsessed with collaborating with Su Chenhui? Couldn’t he go play the lead in another drama? Was he merely jealous that Shen Lingfeng had stolen his lead role, or did he have some other intentions toward Su Chenhui?

“That’s why you must pay close attention to Gu Yuxin’s every move in the future,” Sun Sui reminded him again. “Don’t give him a chance to target you.”

“Don’t worry.” Shen Lingfeng smiled proudly. “If Gu Yuxin isn’t someone to be trifled with, do you think I am? The person who can bully me, Shen Lingfeng, hasn’t been born yet. Alright, I need to go back and rest.”

Sun Sui said, “Then I’ll temporarily stay at the same hotel as you. It’ll be convenient for us to look out for each other. I’ll go help you look for other housing tomorrow.”

“Suit yourself.”

The two then returned to the hotel together.
